Police: Redskins coach Jay Gruden's son arrested after three confrontations

ASHBURN, Va. – Jack Gruden, the son of Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden and a video assistant with the team, was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public after he was involved in multiple confrontations at a shopping and dining area near Redskins Park early Saturday morning.

Gruden, 22, got into an argument around 2:15 a.m. ET Saturday and "walked after the other male to continue the confrontation," the Loudoun County (Va.) Sheriff's Department said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports and other outlets.

"The deputy then intervened and the two parties were separated," the statement read. "Gruden was later involved in two additional confrontations with customers in the area."

Gruden was booked and released from the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. He's scheduled to appear in a Leesburg, Va., courtroom on March 21, according to online court records.
